Steam is suffering from connectivity issues, and attempts to use various
aspects of Valve's online service return "118" errors, which say: "Unable to
connect to server. Server may be offline or you may not be connected to the
internet."
Shacknews notes a pair of twitter users are claiming to be behind the Steam
outage, but Valve has not yet officially responded to the situation. Likewise,
Polygon notes hacking group DERP is
taking
responsibility/credit for knocking EA's Origin offline with a distributed
denial of service attack, but this seems to have ended, as
EA tweets
that Origin is back online, while Steam is still having problems as of this
writing.

But that was a few days ago, as well. Sounds like everyone dumped theirs?

Prices went up and down. They started high, dropped low, then this weekend they started climbing again a bit since this weekend (valve shows a price history when you click something in the market). I have no idea why the people who had 70k+ on there didn't drop their prices more, seeing as valve announced in ADVANCE that they were all going to go away
